“To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Let us forget with generosity those who cannot love us”
― Pablo Neruda

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably.”
― William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing
